  • Tempe, Arizona

    Tempe, Arizona
    is the Oscars on a blowup bed,
    my dog saying No to the desert mountain,
    mystery mariachi slipping over a wall,
    drinking beer at the movies
    dining at a hot Mexican restaurant and the check
    insisting that friendship is expensive.
    Tempe is the place where you find out
    you are hotdish and your friends are sushi.

  • Road

    I’ve been on the road for two weeks without doing laundry anywhere but the sink.
    I brought a white flowy tunic specifically for Arizona.
    Now the cuffs are tan in Denver.
    my laptop clicks when it opens and I wince because I’ll need a new one,
    but I gave my money to the waiters in Tempe.
    I’m drinking Folgers in a borrowed mug,
    thinking about Minnesota.
